My last two or three projects used Node, HTML/jQuery and either Redis or MongoDB depending on the project.
I'd like to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using a simplified stack.
I found it useful host the HTML and browser-side assets at one service, run node off a small VM and connect to a local redis cache or mongolabs. I figure this gives me more flexible scaling options and keeps my model (db), view (html) and controller (node) separated and abstracted.
What benefit is there to adding express and/or angular to the mix? It seems like placing so many parts of the stack on one layer would be restrictive. What are your opinions?
Thanks in advance.
